M. H. S. REVIEW Page Twenty-Five Jfate uf jfnrm VU. Form Teacher-Miss G. C. McMullen. Form Representatives-Lillian Elsom and Ruth Topping. Oh I groaned Snookie Brown, Will I ever be able to learn all this Ancient History for the exam to-morrow. Why does any one have to learn this stuff '? The speaker was seated in the midst of innumerable pillows, lazily munching' candy and yawning as though her mouth would not remain closed. She was a very attractive girl, dark straight hair and huge brown eyes which were set off by dark curling eyelashes. From her attitude towards studies and her love for candy she was a spoiled girl. However, it was no wonder, as she was the only child of trustworthy citizens. I am sure we will have the Oracle of Apollo, as Miss Simpson always said it was important, but I could never learn it. Now, let's see-the Oracle of Apollo is situated on the southern base of Mt. Parnussus nearl-. That is as far as Snookie reachedg she was soon carried back to ancient times by sleep. She found herself at the sanctuary of Apollo. Just as Miss Simpson had taught, she saw the crevasse in the rock, and sitting over it was a priestess. 'tNow is my chance to find out the fate of our form, thought Snookie. She advanced towards the priestess and, in a trembling voice asked : Do you know what lies in the path of twenty-eight students of Form IV of the Midland High School ? Oh ! said the priestess, that is a wicked class. They do not de- serve to know what their future is-but, it is interesting. Snookie saw her stare straight before her and murmur strange ut- terings until finally she spoke very distinctly and related the following' tale : The one who is the most clever in the form is a studious lad and as a result of his efforts will be very successful. That must be Aberdeen. Yes, it is Aberdeen Robins. He will be principal of a large colleg- iate and upon the same staff he will have Ida Sloan and Dorothy Bolyea. The three teachers will be very successful and will have clever students. And now, I turn to a huge court-room. Someone is talking very loudly and is contradicting all his colleagues. Yes, it is Fred Tremeer- a great lawyer. Besides him is Viola Robertson, who is his private secre- tary. And before me is stretched a prosperous little town. On the main corner is a barber-shop, the proprietor being Edward Patchell, and in the chair is Aileen Robinson. In the next shop is Phil Bailey. He seems to be quite busy. Why, he is selling a piano to Dot Angle and Lal Grise.
